How To Use The LOFT Lending Library

Using the library is as easy as using your own local public library. All borrowers are issued a library card, good for one year. If you are a LOFT member, the library card is free, and runs concurrently with your membership. If you’re not yet a member, you can purchase a library card for $10, which gives you free use of the facility for the whole year, and all of its privileges, including borrowing.

For those concerned with confidentiality, your library card has a sequential number on it, and only that number is recorded in library files, and in the title card kept in the book jacket. Thus someone browsing the shelves and examining a certain book will only find a card in it with the numbers of previous borrowers, say 24, 98 and 127.
